I'm a journalist based in Brooklyn and I love traveling and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had great experiences with Couchsurfing over the years. I've surfed in Chile and Texas, met up to show people around NYC and gave some recs for NOLA. I've also met up with people to do various activities while solo traveling in Mexico City. Good times all around.

Interests

I love music and art, reading, journalism, bike rides, getting to know new cities, getting into nature, and partying on occasion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Hitchhiked with a friend through the Atacama Desert in Chile and then took a bus through the mountains to La Paz.

-Reached the top of Mount Merapi, a volcano in Indonesia. We hiked all night and approached the summit at dawn, just as the hum of morning prayers started floating up from the surrounding villages below.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Spanish. Trying to learn Portuguese. I'm a journalist and based on the things I've covered I know a lot about U.S. health care, drug policy, politics, and independent art spaces.
